Muzzy
Luctin was formed in April 1999 and features former members from Roadracer
/ Roadrunner recording artists LAST CRACK and regional bands MAGIC 7 and INNER
SANCTUM. Combining hard rock energy and melodic songwriting, Muzzy Luctin
has made a deep impact on the Midwest music scene. Local radio has fully embraced
the band. Many of Wisconsins top radio stations have played Muzzy's music
including WJJO (Madison, WI), WIBA (Madison, WI), WMAD (Madison, WI), WLZR
(Milwaukee, WI), WLUM (Milwaukee, WI), WQLF (Monroe, WI) and KGRR (Dubuque,
IA).
Muzzy Luctin has traveled to New York twice to perform for record label showcases.
The band regularly plays the major festival events in the Midwest such as
SUMMERFEST (Milwaukee, WI), TASTE OF MADISON (Madison, WI) and DANE COUNTY
FAIR (Madison, WI). Muzzy has also played shows with HOOBASTANK, THEORY OF
A DEADMAN, SUBMERSED, TANTRIC, 3 DOORS DOWN, RA, DEAF PEDESTRIANS, PRESENCE,

In addition, the band receives attention from radio and magazines in Europe
and other areas of the world. Muzzy Luctin was featured in Rock Hard Magazine
(Germany) and 'Sugarfly' is included on one of their Unerhort! (Best unsigned
bands) CDs. The Belgian magazine Rock Tribune reviewed Muzzys debut CD Symptoms
of a Simple Life in their January 2004 issue and also ran a feature article
in their February 2004 issue. Recently, many European rock and metal news
sites on the web have taken note and given rave reviews of the CD as well.
The CD, the band's first full-length release, 'Symptoms of a Simple Life',
was recorded at Sleepless Nights Studios in Madison, WI with guitarist Paul
Schluter as engineer and producer. Over two years in the making, this thirteen-song
epic has the commercial viability and production quality of a major label
effort. It was released on February 23, 2002. Muzzy played throughout the
Midwest in support of 'Symptoms' until early 2003 when the band decided to
take some time off from live shows and start writing for a second CD.
In April of 2004 Muzzy won the award for Best Rock Band at the first annual
Madison Area Music Awards. The band released their second CD, Divine Intermission,
which was their first to be distributed worldwide. The band won two Golden
Kayak awards for the songs "Angel/Devil" and "Live With Yourself".
Another song from the CD, "Get To You", was the lead song on WJJO's
Local Stage CD in 2007 and received numerous plays during regular airtime.
The CDs are available now at the band's website (www.muzzyluctin.com). Currently,
the band is busy recording a third CD at their new studio, Megatone, in Madison,
WI. The new material has been well received in advance previews by label reps
and media.
With past experience and mature songwriting skills, it is only a matter of
time before this band explodes into the national spotlight.
